How long is the recovery period of lumbar burst fracture

The recovery period of lumbar burst fracture is related to the treatment plan and whether the spinal cord nerve is injured. The specific analysis is as follows: 1. Simple lumbar burst fracture is not accompanied by neurospinal cord injury. This situation generally requires surgical treatment. The fracture can be clinically healed in about 12 weeks after operation, and can start to move. Generally, it can basically return to normal activities in about 4-5 months. 2. Lumbar burst fracture is accompanied by spinal cord and nerve injury. In this case, the recovery time is relatively long. The fracture can be recovered in about 12 weeks, and it can be basically restored to normal in about 4-5 months. However, the nerve recovery time will be relatively long, generally taking 0.5-1 year. If the spinal cord nerve injury is very serious, it may not be restored, resulting in incontinence and lower limb paralysis. The specific needs to be determined in combination with imaging examination.
